The above shows you have absolutely no clue whatsoever about the lives of servicemen and women. So, as a favor to everyone else and yourself, when it comes to commenting on the lives of members of the military and what they go through please just shut the fuck up.

Not that it's at all relevant but I've eaten a meal or two at NTC Orlando, Washington Navy Yard, Ft. McNair, Ft. Belvoir, and The Presidio. This outrage is faux and you know it.

No, it isn't. While we can choke down almost anything, nobody prefers MREs to a regular breakfast. Cutting back DFAC hours and variety of choices increases a yearlong deployment's suck factor exponentially. It's doubly miserable coming from a Commander in Chief who treats himself to Kobe beef at our expense.

Your eating once or twice at the above places means absolutely nothing when compairing it to how much a hot meal means to troopers deployed at a firebase or post in the middle of nowhere for an extended period of time. Again you show just what an idiot you are when it comes to the lives of servicemembers and should just shut the fuck up on the subject...and on anything about the military as well.

The military is outsourcing food service, which, of course, has made it more expensive. If food and water had been kept in house, there'd be no need slash breakfast. I'll bet that contractor was charging a fucking fortune for stuff that could be made in house for pennies.

This is true. The elimination of cooks at all levels saved money in peacetime, but became expensive during wartime. It was a classic case of saving pennies and then shelling out dollars.

They aren't skipping breakfast so much as being given a cold MRE for breakfast. No skin off of Obama's nose, since and his pals don't dine in those circles.
